What is a lens?

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.

Grouping Symbols and the Order of Operations

Module by: Wade Ellis, Denny Burzynski. E-mail the authorsEdited By: Math Editors

Summary: This module is from Fundamentals of Mathematics by Denny Burzynski and Wade Ellis, Jr. This module discusses grouping symbols and the order of operations. By the end of the module students should be able to understand the use of grouping symbols, understand and be able to use the order of operations and use the calculator to determine the value of a numerical expression.

Section Overview

  • Grouping Symbols
  • Multiple Grouping Symbols
  • The Order of Operations
  • Calculators

Grouping Symbols

Grouping symbols are used to indicate that a particular collection of numbers and meaningful operations are to be grouped together and considered as one number. The grouping symbols commonly used in mathematics are the following:

( ), [ ], { },

Parentheses: ( )
 Brackets: [ ]
 Braces: { }
 Bar:

In a computation in which more than one operation is involved, grouping symbols indicate which operation to perform first. If possible, we perform operations inside grouping symbols first.

Sample Set A

If possible, determine the value of each of the following.

Example 1

9 + ( 3 ⋅ 8 ) 9 + ( 3 ⋅ 8 ) size 12{9+ \( 3 cdot 8 \) } {}

Since 3 and 8 are within parentheses, they are to be combined first.

9+(3⋅8) =9+24 =33 9+(3⋅8) =9+24 =33

Thus,

9 + ( 3 ⋅ 8 ) = 33 9 + ( 3 ⋅ 8 ) = 33 size 12{9+ \( 3 cdot 8 \) ="33"} {}

Example 2

( 10 ÷ 0 ) ⋅ 6 ( 10 ÷ 0 ) ⋅ 6 size 12{ \( "10"÷0 \) cdot 6} {}

Since 10÷010÷0 size 12{"10" div 0} {} is undefined, this operation is meaningless, and we attach no value to it. We write, "undefined."

Practice Set A

If possible, determine the value of each of the following.

Exercise 1

16−(3⋅2)16−(3⋅2) size 12{"16"- \( 3 cdot 2 \) } {}

Solution

10

Exercise 2

5+(7⋅9)5+(7⋅9) size 12{5+ \( 7 cdot 9 \) } {}

Solution

68

Exercise 3

(4+8)⋅2(4+8)⋅2 size 12{ \( 4+8 \) cdot 2} {}

Solution

24

Exercise 4

28÷(18−11)28÷(18−11) size 12{"28"÷ \( "18"-"11" \) } {}

Solution

4

Exercise 5

(33÷3)−11(33÷3)−11 size 12{ \( "33"÷3 \) -"11"} {}

Solution

0

Exercise 6

4+(0÷0)4+(0÷0) size 12{4+ \( 0÷0 \) } {}

Solution

not possible (indeterminant)

Multiple Grouping Symbols

When a set of grouping symbols occurs inside another set of grouping symbols, we perform the operations within the innermost set first.

Sample Set B

Determine the value of each of the following.

Example 3

2 + ( 8 ⋅ 3 ) − ( 5 + 6 ) 2 + ( 8 ⋅ 3 ) − ( 5 + 6 ) size 12{2+ \( 8 cdot 3 \) - \( 5+6 \) } {}

Combine 8 and 3 first, then combine 5 and 6.

2+24-11 Now combine left to right. 26-11 15 2+24-11 Now combine left to right. 26-11 15

Example 4

10 + [ 30 − ( 2 ⋅ 9 ) ] 10 + [ 30 − ( 2 ⋅ 9 ) ] size 12{"10"+ \[ "30"- \( 2 cdot 9 \) \] } {}

Combine 2 and 9 since they occur in the innermost set of parentheses.

10+[30-18] Now combine 30 and 18. 10+12 22 10+[30-18] Now combine 30 and 18. 10+12 22

Practice Set B

Determine the value of each of the following.

Exercise 7

(17+8)+(9+20)(17+8)+(9+20) size 12{ \( "17"+8 \) + \( 9+"20" \) } {}

Solution

54

Exercise 8

(55−6)−(13⋅2)(55−6)−(13⋅2) size 12{ \( "55"-6 \) - \( "13" cdot 2 \) } {}

Solution

23

Exercise 9

23+(12÷4)−(11⋅2)23+(12÷4)−(11⋅2) size 12{"23"+ \( "12"÷4 \) - \( "11" cdot 2 \) } {}

Solution

4

Exercise 10

86+[14÷(10−8)]86+[14÷(10−8)] size 12{"86"+ \[ "14"÷ \( "10"-8 \) \] } {}

Solution

93

Exercise 11

31+{9+[1+(35−2)]}31+{9+[1+(35−2)]} size 12{"31"+ lbrace 9+ \[ 1+ \( "35"-2 \) \] rbrace } {}

Solution

74

Exercise 12

{6−[24÷(4⋅2)]}3{6−[24÷(4⋅2)]}3 size 12{ lbrace 6- \[ "24"÷ \( 4 cdot 2 \) \] rbrace rSup { size 8{3} } } {}

Solution

27

The Order of Operations

Sometimes there are no grouping symbols indicating which operations to perform first. For example, suppose we wish to find the value of 3+5⋅23+5⋅2 size 12{3+5 cdot 2} {}. We could do either of two things:

Add 3 and 5, then multiply this sum by 2.

3+5⋅2 =8⋅2 =16 3+5⋅2 =8⋅2 =16

Multiply 5 and 2, then add 3 to this product.

3+5⋅2 =3+10 =13 3+5⋅2 =3+10 =13

We now have two values for one number. To determine the correct value, we must use the accepted order of operations.

Order of Operations

  1. Perform all operations inside grouping symbols, beginning with the innermost set, in the order 2, 3, 4 described below,
  2. Perform all exponential and root operations.
  3. Perform all multiplications and divisions, moving left to right.
  4. Perform all additions and subtractions, moving left to right.

Sample Set C

Determine the value of each of the following.

Example 5

21+3⋅12 Multiply first. 21+36 Add. 57 21+3⋅12 Multiply first. 21+36 Add. 57

Example 6

(15-8)+5⋅(6+4). Simplify inside parentheses first. 7+5⋅10 Multiply. 7+50 Add. 57 (15-8)+5⋅(6+4). Simplify inside parentheses first. 7+5⋅10 Multiply. 7+50 Add. 57

Example 7

63-(4+6⋅3)+76-4 Simplify first within the parenthesis by multiplying, then adding. 63-(4+18)+76-4 63-22+76-4 Now perform the additions and subtractions, moving left to right. 41+76-4 Add 41 and 76:41+76=117. 117-4 Subtract 4 from 117: 117-4=113. 113 63-(4+6⋅3)+76-4 Simplify first within the parenthesis by multiplying, then adding. 63-(4+18)+76-4 63-22+76-4 Now perform the additions and subtractions, moving left to right. 41+76-4 Add 41 and 76:41+76=117. 117-4 Subtract 4 from 117: 117-4=113. 113

Example 8

7⋅6−42+15 Evaluate the exponential forms, moving left to right. 7⋅6−16+1 Multiply 7 and 6:7⋅6=42 42−16+1 Subtract 16 from 42:42−16=26 26+1 Add 26 and 1:26+1=27 27 7⋅6−42+15 Evaluate the exponential forms, moving left to right. 7⋅6−16+1 Multiply 7 and 6:7⋅6=42 42−16+1 Subtract 16 from 42:42−16=26 26+1 Add 26 and 1:26+1=27 27

Example 9

6⋅(32+22)+42 Evaluate the exponential forms in the parentheses: 32=9 and 22=4 6⋅(9+4)+42 Add the 9 and 4 in the parentheses:9+4=13 6⋅(13)+42 Evaluate the exponential form:42=16 6⋅(13)+16 Multiply 6 and 13:6⋅13=78 78+16 Add 78 and 16:78+16=94 94 6⋅(32+22)+42 Evaluate the exponential forms in the parentheses: 32=9 and 22=4 6⋅(9+4)+42 Add the 9 and 4 in the parentheses:9+4=13 6⋅(13)+42 Evaluate the exponential form:42=16 6⋅(13)+16 Multiply 6 and 13:6⋅13=78 78+16 Add 78 and 16:78+16=94 94

Calculators

Using a calculator is helpful for simplifying computations that involve large num­bers.

Sample Set D

Use a calculator to determine each value.

Perform the multiplication first. Type 56 56

The display now reads 14,602.

Example 12

Nonscientific calculators are unable to handle calculations involving very large numbers.

This number is too big for the display of some calculators and we'll probably get some kind of error message. On some scientific calculators such large numbers are coped with by placing them in a form called "scientific notation." Others can do the multiplication directly. (1803416780)
